ION ARA (H2S) Clip-On Single-Gas Detector

The ARA H2S portable alarm is a low-cost, wearable clip-on monitor designed to detect hazardous levels of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The detector alerts workers when gas concentrations exceed specified safety levels.

The ARA H2S clip-on monitor operates continuously for 24 months without requiring maintenance. The 36-month model offers you even longer service life at a competitive, low-cost price; to extend its service life, simply put the detector into standby mode when not in use—ideal for contractors who visit the site only occasionally.

Designed with practical applications in mind, the ARA Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) unit weighs only 92 g and is equipped with a sturdy clip for attaching it to work clothing positioned near the breathing zone. Measuring just 87 mm in length, it does not restrict the worker’s movement and is suitable for use in confined spaces, such as during maintenance work on pipes or tankers. As a self-contained model, users can be confident of their safety in all environments thanks to a three-signal system—consisting of a flashing light, audible alarm, and vibration—that alerts the user to exposure levels reaching hazardous concentrations.

The ARA Hydrogen Sulfide Gas Detector features a daily automatic test function that checks the audible, visual, and vibrating alarms to ensure your employees are protected.

The ARA IR connection* allows you to download the last 30 event logs and configure settings that include the following:

  • User ID
  • Low/High Alarms
  • Automated test intervals
  • Impact test intervals
